Hello!

I have a spreadsheet and i would like to show only the today date ROW

Well, if you modify this script, it seems to be possible, but it seems to be better to adjust by the spreadsheet.
For example, How about using the VLOOKUP function to set the number corresponding to today's line in a certain cell?

@a-know This isn't working for me. When I start dashboard, I got

Error: redirect_uri_mismatch

The redirect URI in the request, http://localhost:9292/, does
not match the ones authorized for the OAuth client.
Visit https://console.developers.google.com/apis/credentials/oauthclient/xxxxx5861-gi031vqvit2drtai0msk0bgg9i29ou1s.apps.googleusercontent.com?project=661296021234
to update the authorized redirect URIs.

Excuse my late reply. 'OAuth 2.0 Client ID' may be called a service account now. Please check the IAM Management console.

I missed the OAuth page, so now my widget doesn't show anything. How can I re-enter the OAuth page. And any other reason why I can not see any number in my widget?

Hi. Thanks for your question.

You know, updating of Dashing itself has already stopped, and I am not using Dashing, so maintenance has not been done.
Therefore, I am sorry, but I cannot verify or investigate this question.
I'm sorry I couldn't help you.

This widget realized "displaying spreadsheet values ​​as a dashboard" is now based on Google Data Studio (https://datastudio.google.com/navigation/reporting?hl=en ). I think you can easily realize it with
Why don't you try it? :)
